Dear Gresser family -
My condolences on the loss of Miss Barbara. I was on Romper Room around 1959, with my cousin Tim. It was the highlight of our young lives. Miss Barbara had excellent poise and child-handling skills, to host a TV show with 4-5 year-olds every day. You all were fortunate to have such a wonderful mother and grandmother.

While I was never on the show, I watched it rather faithfully with my little sister and enjoyed it thoroughly. I do so wish that "Miss Barbara" had been my teacher; I think I grew up at least trying to model my teaching after hers. She will definitely be missed across the area of Milwaukee television and her fans of years ago.

Dear Gresser Family,

Sue, Dave & Bob,
My deepest sympathies to you all. She was a wonderful woman whom I will always remember as being sweet, caring, and warm. She always made me feel welcome and the genuine love she had for her family showed through in everything she did.
She will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
Much Love, Kelly
